For sale is my '82 Pontiac Firebird. I purchased this car as a solid body only and pulled it out of a barn. The body is EXTREMELY solid as you can see in the pictures. This was originally a V6 car but I have built it over the last 8 years into a pro-touring style car. I have well over 10 grand in this car in parts. There is over 3 grand just in the fuel injection and transmission. Reserve basically covers only the parts that would be very easy to part out and re-sell.

Engine - '89 1 piece rear main seal truck block 350 bored .040" over. Stock crank, rods, ARP bolts, KB Hyperuetectic pistons. 9.0:1 compression. Balanced assembly. LT4 HOT cam, Edelbrock Perf. RPM cylinder heads, Edelbrock Pro-Flo EFI, much more. Has between 400-450 HP. Car is FAST!

Transmission - T56 6-speed out of a 95 Camaro, Hurst Billet-Plus shifter, Centerforce dual-friction clutch

Rearend - '87 Firebird GTA 9-bolt borg-warner with posi and disc brakes, Spohn performance adjustable torque arm and trans mount with driveshaft loop

Suspension - KYB AGX adjustable shocks and struts, wonder bar, heavy duty ADCO sway bar,Summit lowering springs, all poly bushings, Lakewood lower control arms, Edelbrock adjustable panhard bar, much more.

Brakes - All 4 rotors drilled and slotted. Front SSBC brake caliper upgrade. Rear stock calipers. SS brake lines, stainless braided hoses.

Body - Paint is faded, but I liked it that way. Kind of a sleeper look. The missing grill disentigrated in my hands, easy to find to replace. The other is custom with Dodge Ram grill insert. I still have the parts to finish the Drivers side in the same fashon should you want it. There is small rust buble around parking light. Tried my best to show it in the picture.

Interior - Has the rare PMD seats with the hole in headrest that you need for any KITT replica car. Covers are descent but could be re-covered for show car look. Carpet is new, headliner, sail panels, and sun visors are new. Entire interior has been sprayed with lizard skin for sound absorbtion. No radio, was next on my list. It is wired to the back for an amplifier install.

There is a ton more to talk about on this car. It was my baby for 8 years, and I have driven it for 500 miles. I have to get rid of it becuase I do not have enough room to complete my '69 Camaro project. Hard to let this car go but has to be done. If you have any questions or want additional pictures feel free to contact me. The car is available for test drives if you are in the area. This is a great car and I take CASH or Money Orders ONLY. Shipping is at buyers expense and is up to buyer to coordinate. I am available to help your shipping contractor pick up and load the car.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Looking Back At Oprah's Free-Car Giveaway 10 Years Later

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6." But this is not just any G6. This car is a part of television history. Vielweber won her G6 10 years ago at a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show, when Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. It was an unprecedented stunt that changed lives, generated controversy and ultimately failed to provide enough of a marketing lift for Pontiac, which would be shuttered just over five years later. September 13 marks the 10-year anniversary of the memorable event, which caught everyone, including audience members, by surprise. In a masterful display of showmanship, Oprah dialed up the suspense to match the enormity – and cost – of the event. First she gave away 11 cars, which would have been a landmark TV promotion by itself. But then she coyly announced: "I've got a little twist." Models circulated throughout the audience carrying silver platters loaded with white boxes wrapped in red ribbon. One contained a set of keys, Oprah implied, for another audience member to win the final car. "Do not open it. Do not shake it," she commanded the crowd. Finally, with the suspense built to a fevered pitch, everyone opened their box. They all had keys. "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" Oprah exclaimed. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Everybody did get a car. But not everyone kept it. William Toebe attended the show with his wife, Jillaine, and he immediately thought of the tax implications, which stretched to $6,000 or more for some audience members. It was a tough reality for many in the audience that day, some of which had been selected based on their need for a new car. "That responsible part of me stepped forward and wondered 'where am I going to get the money to pay the taxes?'" he recalled.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.
